Abstract
The phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are blood-feeding insects with a predominantly tropical distribution; however, some Nearctic species range north into Canada (Young and Perkins, 1984). Females feed on blood as a protein source prior to laying eggs and are vectors of a wide range of pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and protozoans to domestic and wild animals and humans (Ayala and Lee, 1970; Young and Perkins, 1984; Tesh, 1988; Caceres 1993). In the United States, several species of phlebotomine sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) have been incriminated or associated with transmission of vesicular stomatitis virus (Stallknech, 2000; Schmidtmann et al., 2002) and Rio Grande virus (Calisher et al., 1977).
期刊介绍：
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
